Abstract

A nitride semiconductor substrate having a diameter of 10 mm or more, which has a single-layer structure composed of a nitride semiconductor layer having a basic composition represented by AlxGa1−xN (0≦x≦1), or a multi-layer structure comprising the nitride semiconductor layer, the mass density of the nitride semiconductor layer being 98% or more of a theoretical mass density ρ (x) represented by the following general formula (1):wherein ax=aGaN+(aAlN−aGaN)x, wherein aGaN represents an a-axis length of GaN, and aAlN represents an a-axis length of AlN; cx=cGaN+(cAlN−cGaN)x, wherein cGaN represents a c-axis length of GaN, and CAlN represents a c-axis length of AlN; Mx=MGa+(MAl−MGa)x, wherein MGa represents the atomic weight of Ga, and MAl represents the atomic weight of Al; MN represents the atomic weight of nitrogen; and Na represents Avogadro's number.
